Bill,

I'm not sure of the B&W, but the color is the Rancho Cucamonga Epicenter Stadium. You'll see a print ad for the fundraiser game tomorrow...

Bill,

I'm not a beer drinker and have never seen those before. What's the story behind them. I really like the Eddie Murray, but the Tony Tarasco can only enrages me... LOL

In a previous post, I mentioned that for many years the Aberdeen Ironbirds printed new programs for each game. Ginger Christensen was one of the office managers for the Ironbirds over the years and such a sweet lady. She passed away a few years ago. Ginger would set aside a program each game and send them to me at the end of the season.

Often with the box of programs, she would include extra items for my collection. One year she included a Billy Ripken figurine that she said the sales staff used as a marketing promo. I don't the exact year, but she indicated that they from around 2007-2011.

Alan:

You may recall my (millennial) son lives in Salisbury and he frequents these independent brewery type places in the area who sell/serve these...

Here is another six pack of a Cal Jr. beer that came out in 2015 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 2131 game as well as another flavor (lemon) of "Puck Face."



The watering hole we hang at pre game outside of Camden Yards had this "Steady Eddie" table flag on our high top table a couple years ago and they said I could have it:



I have an empty can of the Eddie beer if you'd like one.

Day 146 (May 25, 2020 – 146)

It’s my daughter’s birthday today so I’ll post a few things from her birth year. First is The Sun newspaper celebrating the Orioles Kiddie Corp of the ‘60’s.

The Sun – April 2, 2001

Day 146 (May 25, 2020 – 146) CONTINUED...

Hope you all have a great Memorial Day.

My grandfather was in World War I and died a year before I was born so never had a change to meet him. My father would tell me some fond memories of him. His dad was gassed in the war and it damaged his lungs and health wise was never the same. My father was in World War II, in the U.S. Navy, and was on a sub chaser in the South Pacific. They received credit for sinking a submarine during the war. A number of his friends and family members were lost in the war. I know people throw the saying around, but it's true, "Freedom isn't free."

Today I'm going to post a favorite item of mine that I purchased from Scott (quitcrab) several years ago. I was going to post it earlier this year with the next item, but just couldn't find the thing. So first I'll picture a Brooks 1964 Topps Standup that I posted on Day 128.
